Wary Meyers Candles on Sight Unseen
The brilliant design journal Sight Unseen has a write-up about our candle-making adventures. See it here and apologies in advance for having you read the word "like" so often. :)
Above, Linda's (the genius behind the candles) three-tiered lucite rotating carousel of fragrances, which she mixes, heats, blends and pours into the hot wax.

Ward Bennett's Dakota Rooftop Eyrie, 1965
Ward Bennett's amazing apartment in The Dakota in House & Garden, Feb. 1965
At first glance I thought even his Rolodex was a chair.

Thunderball, 1965 James Bond's specially modified Breitling Top Time wristwatch used in Thunderball, 1965, the watch composed of a stainless steel chronograph timepiece, by Breitling, Ref. 2002, case no. 984343, manufactured in 1962 and then modified, the black dial with applied baton hour markers, luminous hands, sweep centre seconds, two subsidiary dials for constant seconds and 45 minute registers, and outer silvered tachymeter scale, in circular case with two chronograph buttons in the band, case 35mm wide, case and dial signed, mounted in glazed water resistant type case with screw down bezel and case reverse, by Valley Tool Company, 47mm wide, signed V.T.C., made for Sean Connery as James Bond in the 1965 United Artists/EON Productions film Thunderball
Lot Notes
The first ever specially modified watch issued by 'Q' branch to James Bond, the timepiece was equipped with a 'Geiger-counter' to detect radiation. Equipping Bond 'in the field' in Nassau for his mission to find two NATO atomic bombs stolen by SPECTRE, Q explains here we have a Geiger counter, useful and unobstructive, the sweep hand takes the radioactive count, it's waterproof of course, to which Bond sarcastically responds, but of course. Besides the Rolex Submariner, the Breitling Top Time is the only other model of watch that Sean Connery wears as James Bond.
My paddle is up for these two British crown jewels.
